Ivory Keytops

[daniel carlton]

hi list

i'm drawing up an estimate for replacing some missing ivory keytops on an
old upright, and i'm looking at Newton Hunt's labor guide. according to
Hunt, it takes about an hour to replace one head or tail, so as i'm doing my
estimate, it's looking like it's going to take about twelve hours and cost
about $500 at my labor rate. does that seem right to everyone else? for some
reason it just doesn't seem right to me. it's seems a little steep. should i
just charge a flat, one-time fee for this job? maybe i'm thinking too cheap.


does everyone else agree that it should take about an hour for *each* ivory
head?

any help or input is greatly appreciated
